For several weeks I have been printing in this paper testimonials from
Hammond people who have taken
treatment of me. These testimonials
are not from Texas or California,
They are from Hammond, your own
inenas ana neignoors. if you are a Bufferer from any chronic disease or for any reason need a physician and
have any doubt. Ask Them.

ple are aware of the elaborate and
costly equipment of my office, and to readily acquaint the sich and afflicted
' with my line of sanitarium treatments.
, I will give to each NEW orBEGIN-
NING patient one month's treatment
absolutely free, charging only for the
medicine that I use. Is that not fair?
Have I not done all in human power , to convince you? I can not cure you
unless you give me a chance. Read what another Hammond patient says: For seven long years I have suffered with rheumatism. At times bedfast, at other times scarcely able to do my work and for months at a time not able to be out of the house. I have taken treatment of different doctors, used innumerable home treatments, even a change of climate, but none of these things did me a3 much good as I have received in taking treatment a little over two months from Dr. Leedy. Now I can go to bed and sleep all night and can do my work with ease, something I have not done for months. Now I am wearing my shoes, somethins I have not done for two years. I wish I might have met Dr. Leedy with hi3 sanitarium treatments years ago, the last seven years of my life would have been a different story I am sure. MRS.

fire. It was
ordinary one. 11AKEK SEES FLAMES. George A. Schmidt, proprietor of the Schmidt bakery was the first to send in an alarm to the Central fire station. Mr. Schmidt was on his way to the State Line house to call one of his employes and In walking down Plummer
avenue noticed the flames shooting out
from the openings in the south end of the first floor of the building. The
alarm was received at the fire station at four o'clock, and departments num
ber one and three responded immediately, number three going out on a second call. Somebody sent in a call to South
Chicago, and the departments from
there and Hegewisch hurried to the rescue, but could do little as the Hammond departments were using all the
water available.
STORAGE VEItY VAI.VABLE. The mill elevator and mixing plant
were located In the south end of the
building where the fire broke out and
were separated from the balance of
the building by a fire wall. The four
floors of this building were piled to the ceiling with bags containing distiller's dried feed, which was formerly fed to cattle in the shape of slop, and cotton seed meal. Thousands of bags of this feed were stored here, forty to sixty thousand pounds to each section
of about 200 square feet of floor space.
This material Is valued at about $24 a ton, and was being mixed at the rate of 200 tons a day. The building de
stroyed by fire was four stories In height and one hundred and fifty feet by one hundred feet in its other dimension,. t'HAPIX I.IVES IX HAMMOND. George Chapin, son of the founder
of the Chapin feed business, is the local manager of the plant and resides In Hammond on Condit street. He is said to have Inspected the plant thoroughly last night before going home, first by himself and again at 9 o'clock in company with his carpenter, George Oskunewskl. He Is said to have been prompted to do this because he caught a whiff of something burn
ing, but after making a thorough search had to give it up and satisfy himself that there was nothing more dangerous than a hot box. ncii.niNO a Fi nxAtE. When the fire departments arrived the building was a roaring furnace. The flames shot from the door and
windows for a distance of twenty feet. The burning feed caused an Intense heat and the flames lighted up the sky so the fire could be seen at Hegewisch and Gibson. All the fire department could dd was to attempt to confine the flames to one building. An Indiana Harbor switch engine was telephoned for to pull out a string of ten cars which were standing between the burning building and the adjoining building, which was formerly 6ccupled by the G. H. Hammond company as a storage house and which is now used for offices and Btorage purposes by the Hammond Storage company. Had these boxcars caught fire the flames would surely have spread to the next building, and the track had Just been cleared, with the last car running on the ties instead of the rails, when the wells came down. The nearest building stands to the west of he burning structure and Is about a hundred feet away. Fortunately the wall of the burning house broke off on the upper half and fell to where the cars had i stood, or else three firemen would have
all his strength to extricate it. He was
given prompt medical attention. The Hammond Storage Company began to do business in Hammond on February 14th. but the buildinar was being put In shape as early as December of last year. Since it began operat
ing the plant has sent out its patent
cattlefood to all parts of the country, having shipped out altogether five hundred car loads. Originally the company was organized to carry on a storage business. Several thousand dollars were spent In improving the building, and when this had been done, it was decided to carry on the milling business In addition and a plant worth many more thousand dollars was Installed. The Indiana Harbor Belt and For
warding Company which also carries on a storage business, occupies the big four tory building formerly occupied
by the G. H. Hammond company as a pickling plant.
- Although the firemen could do noth
ing after two hours work to save anything on or In the building they re
mained on the scene all day playing
steams of water on the burning pile of
feed.
Ihe Michigan Central newspaper train one of the fastest trains goins
through Hammond came to a stop this
morning in order to give the fire depart ments the right of way.
AV. H. Gostlin and J. E. Fitzgerald, were among the first callers at the
office of the company this morning to
offer any assistance they mi?ht give
The insurance on tho contents is car
ried by the Gftstlin, lleyn and Company
and Is for sixty thousand dollars while
the agents have jjivided among sevc.a
companies. The building Is insured for
only $10,500 this figure having been placed on it when It was racant, but since It was remodeled and occupied it was worth much more of course. The company employed twenty-two men in the plant, and has a half a doz
en or more persons In its office forc. For the present only a day shift was employed but plans were under way for a night shift too.
BOLINT BROUGHT BACK TO WIFE
(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 23. Chief Leo McCormick went to Chicago yesterday and brought back Louis Bolint, who was wanted for wife desertion. Bolint,
who was formerly a sewing machine agent, left his wife and two small children shortly before Easter. Mrs. Bolint, who has since been living with her mother in Melville avenue, Oklahoma, heard that her husband was in Chicago at 431 Sullivan avenue. She so reported to Chief McCormick, who went to Chicago day before yesterday -and, in
company with a Chicago officer, visited the place. They learned that Bolint was making his home at the address given but he was out fishing at the time. Chief McCormick had to return in order to catch the last car for home, before Bolint came back, but the Chicago officer remained and arrested his man and kept him over night, and Chief McCormick went' after him yesterday.
